Former head coach of “Washington” Peter Laviolette was amazed by the performance of striker Alexander Ovechkin.
“I have a lot of respect for him as a person and as a player for the way he plays hockey.
Like Muhammad Ali, like Tom Brady, like Babe Ruth. I think if he’s healthy, he’ll set a record that everyone thinks won’t be broken, and if you contact him, you won’t know about it.
He once played three games in four days and said he needed a break. But he went to practice and worked hard. It was incredible,” Laviolette said on the podcast. Glass&Strick.
